Alex Clarke Quartet
Out of the Woods
I’m often wary of ‘tribute albums’ such as this but this recording is a cut above the rest thanks to the intelligent writing and arranging and the quality of the playing from all involved.
Intelligent, frequently quirky, writing from Brunt combines with some superb playing from all four members of a very well balanced and calibrated group.
Intelligent and individual writing, excellent playing from all concerned, and that all important sense of humour & irreverence, that makes the group’s sound so distinctive. It's good to have them back
Part solo recording, part band album it successfully combines both elements and also delivers a successful and beguiling mix of electric and acoustic sounds embracing a variety of musical styles.
His most ambitious and diverse set thus far and a worthy successor to past glories. Carmichael has established his own distinctive voice within a proud Scottish jazz / folk tradition..
